Gather around the sizable flat screened T.V. to bond over a favorite movie in the living room, or retire to the lounge for intimate conversation or an engaging game nighttime.

Three bedrooms allow space for your entire group including one king bed, one queen and a queen futon. After a long day full of island adventures, relax with a relaxing soak in the huge tub in the shared bath, or ease weary muscles in the calming steam shower located in the en-suite master bathroom.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses.
